Documentation for AVOID THE NOID

AVOID THE NOID was created by Dominoes Pizza to advertise their pizza, and service. We hope that you enjoy playing this game as much as we enjoyed making it. AVOID THE NOID works with graphic systems such as CGA. Digitized sound effects were added to magnify the enjoyability of the game (these sounds, as well as the background music can be heard through your PC/XT/AT and TANDY internal speaker, and no external sound device is required). AVOID THE NOID requires 320K bytes of RAM, and no external device (other then a keyboard and CGA monitor) is required either, yet joystick control is fully supported.

Storyline: You have just been sent out to deliver a pizza to Doom Industries. As a Dominoes Pizza delivery boy, you must reach the top of the building, while avoiding the "Noid" (Dominoes "clay-mation" character). Your goal must be accomplished within 30 minutes, or the customer gets a discount, and you lose your job.

Controls: To play AVOID THE NOID, you must know the following keyboard commands...

Game Play: Avoid the Noid by "jumping" over him and all of his traps, or he'll stomp your pizza flat, thus loosing a delivery boy. Once all delivery boys have been fired, the game is over, and the Noid wins! Watch for trapdoors and booby traps that the Noid has set for your destruction (actually, he doesn't want to hurt you, just the pizza!).

To play AVOID THE NOID, simply type NOID at your DOS prompt:

C:\GAMES\ARCADE\NOID>noid <=== or any directory you choose

^ ^ ^ | | \_____ |__ Drive |__ Directory \__ You type

Remember the objective: Get that pizza delivered to the TOP FLOOR within 30 minutes. So don't let any of the Noid's little traps distract your progress.
